If Foals plays the Mojave, there will be a pretty huge overflow. Not to say it hasn't happened before

I took my niece this year and it was her first Coachella. It was so fun to see it through her eyes. She thought it felt like a magical scene from Shreck. The one where all the fairy tale creatures meet for the first time in Shreck's swamp.

i will say though that when foals played in 2011 (?) i came to the mojave 5 min in to their set and could not even squeeze in the back to find a spot. it was so incredibly packed that i gave up on their entire set. so i personally think that foals are big enough to overflow the mojave. also i am really surprised to see bassnectar and four tet conflicting? really seems like a crossover audience. both of those conflict with stone roses too, which isn't crossover necessarily but definitely makes me a bit sad

Was 2011 or 2012 the year they went for the bigger tents used for Gobi/Mojave?

Re: 2013 - Friday Set Time Predictions

This day works out well so damn for me now. I get to see at least half a set for every band I'm intersted in. Hopefully your prediction is close!

One small note - I don't think Polica and the Shouting Matches will conflict. She's good friends with both Vernon and Moen (and has performed with both, I think). Plus, that conflict would greatly offend the Minnesota/Wisconsin coalition of Coachella attendees, which I'm sure GV desperately wants to avoid.

Also - I wonder if we might actually see HTDA on the Outdoor instead of Mojave. I assumed they were the Mojave closer from the moment I saw the poster, but the more I think about it, that show is going to be a really big deal, and Reznor is by far the most famous person performing on Friday, and they're billed right where Explosions in the Sky were last year- who played the Outdoor against a headliner.

Four Tet v. Luciano conflict would make me very angry. Wouldn't Four Tet be much more likely in TNGHT's spot? I'd be much more surprised if TNGHT wasn't early in the Sahara. Perhaps first ones of the day.
